It consists of most of San Joaquin County and portions of Contra Costa and Sacramento counties. Cities in the district include Antioch , Galt , Oakley , Lathrop , Lodi , Mountain House , and Stockton.[3]
Prior to redistricting by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission of 2011, the 9th district encompassed part of the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area . Cities in the district included Oakland , Berkeley and Castro Valley . Most of that area is now in the 13th district , while the current 9th is primarily made up of portions of the former 18th and 11th districts.
Competitiveness [ ] John Kerry won the district in 2004 with 85.9% of the vote. Barack Obama swept the district in 2008 with 88.13% of the vote while John McCain received 9.87% of the vote, making it Obama's best and McCain's worst performance in California. The current 9th district is substantially more competitive, though it also favors the Democratic Party .
